Not A Word (Not One)

poesy-4-poesy's-sake

Not a word ... not one

Not a single line done

Trying to write to you

Like I always do

Not a word at all

For now, I'm just stalled

I know what I must say

But can't find the way

Not a word ... not one

This is not getting done

Trying to write a love note to someone we secretly admire but cannot talk to.
The pen hovers over the paper, the heart wants to open up but is filled with fear of rejection.
The words just stay in the head, the paper blank.
And love just has no chance of getting done.

Thank you. Yes, the pen does a lot of hovering. ~Jim
